Badly Written, Badly Spoken / Re: American academic’s horribly mangled metaphor wins 2011 bad writing prize

Thanks for sharing that "horrible" writing, I needed a good laugh.
I was logging off my computer late Friday afternoon when I got blindsided by my boss, Hurricane Ike, who was making blustery demands and tossing impossible last-minute projects around the room that threatened to swamp not only my evening but quite possibly drown my entire weekend. Sitting in my chair I finally stood up to him. "Sir, I have a prior engagement at an out of town wedding but I would be happy to get right on that first thing Monday morning." Flabbergasted he just stared at me as I got up and left, having just downgraded him to Tropical Storm.
Eh, not quite bad enough...
